The s*x Addicts Widow

Memory Lane

Jude

I can't believe I'm sitting here with V. Well I mean Kades here too, which I don't mind. He's alright. She's had a bit to drink and I lost count of how many joints she's lit. But we're having a good time. There's a little reminiscing and catching up, Laughing, teasing, joking, I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Even back then we never got the chance to hang out like this. I always wanted to but she could never do it. Her and Luke were working opposite shifts, so they didn't have to put the four toddlers in day care. V always said she'd have to get a second job if they wanted to afford daycare. Therefore she was never available to hang out or chill after work or on days off. There were a few times we got to hang out outside of work, Christmas parties and events like that.

“No! No! She was drunk as s**t! And tried ruining that whole wedding!” V says laughing.

She talking about our former coworker Bella's wedding. It was a mess! The groom's mother hired his ex to be the florist.

“It wasn't on purpose!” I pretend to defend the wreck of a woman.

“No! Kade! Listen! This woman showed up to the ceremony slurring! She then proceeded to giggle throughout the whole thing! And she threw up on the grooms shoes as they walked out of the church!” Victoria tries to rally Kade onto her side. He looks over to me and shrugs my shoulders giving him a smirk.

“It was all accidental.” I laugh. She was a b***h and there is no denying she tried ruining that wedding on purpose.

“And then! And then at the reception, oh my God Kade! At the reception she sat on the father of the brides lap! Spilled wine on the dance floor, AND stuck her finger in the wedding cake.”

She looks back to Kade, this time grabbing his hand begging him to side with her.

Kade eyes go wide and he laughs, “I don't know, could of be an accident.” He says, just to rile her up, just like I'm doing.

“What?!?!? No! No! That was no accident.” V argues.

“Maybe they shouldn't of had a wedding on a holiday. People want to celebrate” I try again to defend the horrid florist.

V drops Kades hand and looks at me with overdramatic shock on her face. “I can not believe you would say that! It's their wedding! They should be able to have it on whatever day they please without having to put up with that kind of s**t!” She says, putting her joint out.

“Not when you pick Saint Patty's day!” I laugh. "and the groom is 100% Irish."

“Well..” she giggles “True, but that woman wanted to ruin the wedding. Period” she says looking back into my eyes. I can feel myself being sucked into those deep pools.

"I know she did it on purpose V. She should of never agreed to be the florist. Bella deserved better than that for the happiest day of her life."

"Damn right!" V says slamming the beer bottle on the table.

It's been a long time since I smoked weed or got drunk for a good reason. Allison didn't like the way weed smelled. It wasn't like I smoked a lot, V was always a heavy smoker, well except when she was pregnant. So I quit smoking and drinking, Allison was a total health freak. Shes calmed down a lot, but when we first met it was bad. It took a long time for me to convince her it was ok to splurge.

"Do you remember when we got locked in?" V suddenly asks, picking up a cigarette.

My breath hitches and I freeze staring at her. I never expected her to bring that day up.

"V." I warn, "we agreed to never speak of that day."

It was secretly the best day of my entire motherfucking life! I mean sides becoming a dad, but this different. I would love to talk about it! But talking about the day we made out in the chemical shower in front of her husband's best friend, seems like a bad idea.

"What happened the day you got locked in?" Kade asks, leaning forward in his chair.

V gives me a smirk and turns to Kade.

Well, f**k.

"Well," she starts dramatically, pausing to take a drag of her smoke." there was a "disgruntled employee", she finger quotes," so they locked down the entire building. He was losing his s**t in the locker room. He broke the mirrors and pulled the sinks off the wall. It was actually terrifying." she finally confesses.

she takes another drag. " Tony hadjust been fired at the end of his shift. He was accused of stealing, but swore it wasn't him. He needed the job too much to do something stupid like that. Jude and I had just clocked in and we're walking into the locker room when he started throwing s**t. He was so upset. We tried talking to him, tried to calm him down. But he just got madder and madder. when he pulled the first sink off, Jude pulled me into the chemical shower. He threw the sink at us but it bounced off the plexiglass door."

I watch a shiver run down Vs back. It was scary. Her eyes are unfocused again, I can see she's back in that plastic box, watching Tony completely break down.

"The shower door set an alarm off, and security came into the bathroom. They saw Tony and they evacuated the building. I guess they didn't see us in the shower. So we were locked in with Tony. Jude held me the entire time. When Tony started throwing stuff at us he moved us to block me from it hitting the door."

I smile at the memory, as scary as it was, I got to hold her and protect her for a really long time, we were locked in there for hours.

"It took them quiet awhile to finally subdue him. He had broken the lights so it was dark and they still didn't see us in the shower. There was a pile of broken sinks blocking the door so we couldn't get out. "

A small knowing smile crosses her face as she makes eye contact with me. I'm still frozen in place from when she first brought it up and started the story.

"It took hours for them to find us. I was so upset after the whole thing, and then we were locked in that tiny shower in the pitch black. I knew I was safe though. Jude was there. He held me the whole time."

V smiles at me and winks, but doesn't continue to finish the story. She doesn't tell Kade about my confession of feelings, about me kissing her, and her kissing me back for one of the hottest and longest make out sessions of my life. She doesn't tell him about me slipping my fingers into her pants. She doesn't tell him that she stuck her hand down my pants and we pleasured each other until the lights came on and they found us. She didn't tell him exactly one week later she told me she was pregnant.

“Well, s**t. That's some crazy s**t!" Kade interrupts our staring contest.

"We should probably head out Jude. It's getting late. Victoria, sweetheart, dinner was divine.” Kade says as he stands looking at his watch.

Victoria giggles,”He always talks like that after a few.” she says to me as she stands also. I get up and follow them to the front door.

Victoria opens the door, “It was really good to see you again, Jude.” She says as she gives me a hug.

Fuck, Victoria's hugs, they're the glue that holds the world together.

Too fast she pulls away, “Thanks for dealing with Keith too.”

“No problem. Dinner was great. Thanks for letting me stay. It was really good to see you.” I tell her before making my way down the stairs, headed for Kades truck.

Kade soon follows and unlocks the truck. We both hop in. He starts it and we take off.
